The Enchanted Princess

As the clock struck three,

With a noise huge enough for birds to flee,

The darkness prevailing as long I could see,

There was no one next to me.

I stood long for about an hour,

With a hope to gather some power,

I was locked in an ancient tower,

The place smelled like some wildflower.

I wore a long gown, not at all gorgeous,

But not someone who ruled fortress,

I was way far from being flawless,

I waited and waited though I was hopeless.

The scene was not less than haunted,

A fear which left me daunted,

But something happened unwanted,

Seemed someone enchanted.

I felt a kiss on my forehead,

With my love sitting beside my bed,

I was dressed in a gown colored red,

I was gay and glad.

Then I saw the light,

It was a dream I caught at night,

The sun shining bright,

Wished never to return to that plight.
